Real Madrid continues their fierce battle against the technical committee of referees (CTA), after the controversial defeat of last weekend against Espanyol. Earlier in the week they sent a highly formulated explanation to the Spanish football federation, in which they called the referee system 'discrolded' and 'corrupt'. Moreover, they have chosen to boycott the Thursday meeting at the offices of the Federation.
Many prominent figures in football have spoken about this issue in recent days, and the last to go go so is real betis sporting director Angel Haro, according to Marca.
“Tomorrow we will be there in Madrid (for the meeting), and of course I will not share Real Madrid's statement. In their expressions, I think that unnecessary pressure is being exerted on the referee collective, something he had already done through the various videos (with Real Madrid TV). I think there are things to improve, but it must be done from a serene dialogue where there is no action for the gallery or in a populist way.
“I think we should all be honest with this activity – the referee collective, the federation and the clubs, but those statements certainly do not help. What is more, also from my point of view, the Spanish football federation has been lukewarm. Betis has rarely issued statements and the statements have always been for specific issues or for errors that we have established as rude at some point. And you have to remember that that happened then, the federation was completely powerful with betis. It is true that it was a different federation, but I think we should be a little more powerful and should not make this kind of explanation happy, because if not, then we will all destroy football. “
It will be interesting to see how Real Madrid continues in this matter, but for now they don't look like backwards.
